You can get it on Amazon now..

 

This is amazing though. I never thought this game would be sold out anywhere. I knew it was a huge game, but I didn't think that Nintendo would underestimate demand on any game without an expensive to produce peripheral.

I think maybe they simply looked at historic trends for sales, and didn't expect this game to come and sell a ton more than Mario Kart:DD did. Perhaps they just figured the increased install base of the Wii isn't necessarily going to buy the more core games like Mario Kart.

The big problem may be that this game is the most fun Mario Kart so far. And the online racing is awesome. Just yesterday we were playing games online and it prompted an option to join a friend's game. We did, and it was seemless and easier than it is to join friend's games on Xbox Live.  We didn't even realize we could play with friends and 8 strangers at the same time.
